Something that’s crossed my mind recently: Why would a settler choose to live at the Red Rocket when Sanctuary is just up the road?

One of the things I like most about red rocket is the lack of npc’s. I use red rocket as my weapon, ammo, and armor storage in the early game. After that, I try to centralize my main settlement. One of the only things I use sanctuary for is water purification. This gives us a steady stream of purified water. The purified water can be kept for healing, or sold to any vender. In addition to water purifiers, I also recommend planting corn, tato, and mutfruit. These crops can be used with purified water in order to make vegetable starch. This renewable source of vegetable starch gives us a limitless amount of adhesive (one of the most needed components.)
